Is there a way to have a sound play when you accept a quest (same sound for all quests)? I would also know if it's possible to play a sound when you fail or abandon a quest. Thanks!

Hi,

Yes. The easiest way (if you don't mind a tiny bit of scripting) is to add a script to the Dialogue Manager that has an OnQuestStateChange method. Something like:

Code: Select all

using UnityEngine;
using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem;

public class QuestStateSounds : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Assign the variables below in the inspector.
    public AudioSource audioSource;
    public AudioClip acceptedSound;
    public AudioClip failedSound;
    public AudioClip abandonedSound;
    
    void OnQuestStateChange(string quest)
    {
        switch (QuestLog.GetQuestState(quest))
        {
            case QuestState.Active:
                audioSource.PlayOneShot(acceptedSound);
                break;
            case QuestState.Failure:
                audioSource.PlayOneShot(failedSound);
                break;
            case QuestState.Abandoned:
                audioSource.PlayOneShot(abandonedSound);
                break;
        }
    }
}

Thank you so much for the quick reply and the script! However once I tried adding it to my game directory I get the following four console errors:

Assets\Scripts\QuestStateSounds.cs(17,28): error CS1003: Syntax error, ':' expected
Assets\Scripts\QuestStateSounds.cs(17,28): error CS1513: } expected
Assets\Scripts\QuestStateSounds.cs(23,28): error CS1003: Syntax error, ':' expected
Assets\Scripts\QuestStateSounds.cs(23,28): error CS1513: } expected

Any idea why that's happening, I tried replacing ';' with ':' but no luck. Thanks again!

Actually, I found the errors and fixed the script. But the audio doesn't seem to play when attached to the Dialogue Manager even when I add an AudioSource component.

Code: Select all

using UnityEngine;
using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem;

public class QuestStateSounds : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Assign the variables below in the inspector.
    public AudioSource audioSource;
    public AudioClip acceptedSound;
    public AudioClip failedSound;
    public AudioClip abandonedSound;
    
    void OnQuestStateChanged(string quest)
    {
        switch (QuestLog.GetQuestState(quest))
        {
            case QuestState.Active:
                audioSource.PlayOneShot(acceptedSound);
                break;
            case QuestState.Failure:
                audioSource.PlayOneShot(failedSound);
                break;
            case QuestState.Abandoned:
                audioSource.PlayOneShot(abandonedSound);
                break;
        }
    }
}

Sorry, you fixed two typos (missing ':'), but the third one was more subtle. The method name is "OnQuestStateChange", not "OnQuestStateChanged". I fixed the typos in my post above.

If it still doesn't work, please check:

Did you assign the Audio Source field in the inspector?
Is the Audio Source's Spatial Blend set to 2D?
Are there any errors or warnings in the console when the audio should be playing?
